Here’s a good link with a lot of information relevant to our local mass timber challenges. In particular this download provides practical details on costs vs conventional, controlling costs, real project learnings and market factors. Being from BC, these can be relevant to New Zealand as well.
WoodWorks Issue – 27 Jan 2026
Welcome
Greetings from your WoodWorks team. Hello fellow masstimberers – With a solid year of achievements behind us as a sector, let’s hope growth is here this year. Positive outcomes like the Fisher & Paykel HQ, Tauranga Library and Museum Street Parliament building in Wellington demonstrate to the public, quantity surveyors, lenders and property developers what mass timber can deliver. Standardising our offerings is key. We embrace using our regional site visits and get-togethers to help strengthen our combined efforts to get better faster for providing excellent environments for people to work and live.
In coming weeks and months we’ll be inviting you, the leaders in our industry, to share your views in our weekly news. So, if that’s you, please get in touch with your energy and vision to communicate more widely with everyone in our network.
